Important Updates Regarding the 2020 Version of the Civics Test
On Dec. 1, 2020, USCIS implemented a revised version of the civics test for naturalization (2020 civics test). Due to recent policy changes, some applicants required to take the 2020 civics test may now have a choice to take the 2020 test or the 2008 civics test. Please note that beginning on April 19, 2021, USCIS will only offer the 2008 civics test at the initial interview appointment regardless of filing date.
For more information, visit The 2020 Version of the Civics Test page.
- If you are taking the 2020 civics test, find study materials on the Study for the Test (2020 version) page.
- If you are taking the 2008 civics test, find study materials on the Study for the Test (2008 version) page.
